But You Know I Love You

When the mornin' sun

Streaks across my room

And I'm wakin' up

From another dream of you

When I'm on the road

Once again it seems

All that's left behind

Is a chain of broken dreams

But you know that I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, I love you.



How I wish that love

Was all we'd need to live

What a life we'd have

'Cause I've got so much to give

But it seems so cold

Down inside my heart

That the dollar sign

Should be keepin' us apart

But you know that I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you.



And if only I could find

My way back to the time

When the problems of this life

Had yet not crossed my mind

And the answers could be found

In children's nursery rhymes

I'd come runnin' back to you

I'd come runnin' back to you.

Mmmmm



But you know we can't

Live on dreams alone

And to pay the rent

I must leave you all alone

You know I made

My choice many years ago

And now this travelin' life

It's the only life I know

But you know that I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, I love you.



But you know I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you...
